I love the ukulele! It has such a bright sound, and it's portable, and it's so easy to play! When it's happy, it's the happiest instrument. When it's sad, it's strangely haunting. I have three, and I'm eventually going to collect more. I love them! I want to play them all...

and just earlier this year I began to play the ukulele for my music class. since then, I haven't gone a day without practicing my little blue ukulele and honestly I couldn't see myself without it. it has become a passion and I can always just play my ukulele to make myself feel...

seriously.
About 6 years ago I was working 70hours a week (no overtime pay) few friends, poor health and pretty much just a sad and lonley existence. Those factors led to a minor heart attack and 33 years old.
Then, while on recovery leave from work, I picked up a...

I love playing so much that not even a month went by before I upgraded my uke. I went from a lanikai lu-21 to a nice mahogany mainland that I love sooo much!
The lanikai is awesome, and was in the right price range for me to pick up to see if I liked playing the ukulele at all...

It's so pretty. My friend is letting me borrow hers right now, and I looove it. I'm not very good, but I can play a few songs, and it's so relaxing. You'd be surprised how pretty songs are on the ukulele. For example, listen to Julia Nunes' cover of God Only Knows on ukulele...

and I saw a guy playing an ukulele. I asked him where he learned it and apparently his whole family has been playing for a few generations. He taught me some songs before he left town. I hope to meet him again to show him how I improved. ^_^

I freakin love my ukulele.. I think I'm going to name him phill. I've had phill since last Christmas, but I've only really learned 1 full song. But I've made up others because I've learned the notes, and I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself :) I play guitar too, and there...

and then. I want to play more but there aren't enough people around me who are as interested in the instrument as I am. So I see it as a moot point. I practice some times and I get a little better every time but I don't carry it with me all the time(though I kind of want to...

I've been playing for about 8 months and am really enjoying it. I found it alot easier than learning guitar which I also play but pretty badly! Think am doing ok but my tutor reckons our class is good enough to join the local emsemble, playing to an audience. The thought of that...

I have been wanting a ukulele for months now, but I have been very hesitant to purchase one, since I might accidentally spend a $#!%load of money on what turns out to be the wrong one. One day I was at a friends house, thinking about ukuleles (literally), when my friend says "Ooh...

I learned to play ukulele in grade school. I went to a private school in Dallas where the principal played baritone ukulele, and we had ukulele lessons as a mandantory part of our curriculum from grades 1 - 4. Every so often the principal would would have all the grades gather...

. . .by Amanda Palmer. Listen. Love. Be Amazed:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni6qaNUcd9ETotally expresses how I feel about this instrument. Any uke song that starts out by talking about Sid Vicious is an attention grabber by definition.You.Must.Listen.

favorite thing to do in the whole world. Unfortunately I don't have a very nice one , and i'm self conscious about my voice so I don't play very often :( I don't really want people to hear me.
I honestly wish I lived alone just so I could play music all the time!

What an amazing instrument. I bite my fingers down to the nubs as well as the skin around them, and yet can still play. Last week I sliced the bejeebers out of my ring finger on my strumming hand. It should have had stitches, so the doc told me. Yet I still could play...

I have been playing the ukulele for 8 years now. It started in elementary school since our school had ukuleles instead of recorders. I loved it and joined our schools "Uke Club" that met at lunch to play. We played around the city and even made some CDs. I stayed in the club...

The only song I've ever played is "Somewhere over the Rainbow & What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I played that at my high school graduation! Other than that, I've never learned any other songs. That is...until now...I've found a...

for my boyfriend as a gift he plays guitar but wants a ukulele, does anyone know what kind I should get him? I'm not sure which would be best and I wouldn't want to buy something super pricey that's not worth it either, thank you :)

I do NOT play the Ukulele, but I love musicians, especially those who know how to play instruments. Okay, and those who sing. Okay. I love musicians period. I melt whenever I hear passionate music being played. Strings are my favorite.
